Nathan, Lucas, and Haley all looked up when someone cleared their throat and said "Are all of you here for Peyton Sawyer?"
Nathan stepped forward with his hand out. "I'm Nathan Scott. Are you Dr. Smith?"
Dr. Smith nodded. "Yes, I am. Thank you for coming so quickly. Did you get a good flight out?"
Nathan shook his head. "We ended up driving because the next flight out wasn't until late tonight. It only took us a little over four hours to get here. How is Peyton doing Dr. Smith?"
Dr. Smith sighed and said "Why don't we go some place a little more quiet to talk Mr. Scott?"
Nathan shook his head and stood his ground. "Just tell me I mean tell us how Peyton is doing Dr. Smith."
Dr. Smith sighed in resignation and nodded. "Peyton has not woke up at all yet and that fact is a little worrisome. Her blood pressure is still a lot higher than what I would like it to be especially since she is pregnant. I have done a blood work up on her as well as a pelvic exam and her white blood cell count is up a little. Now for her blood pressure I have ordered a pregnancy blood pressure medication but it doesn't seem to be doing it's job yet but hopefully it will soon. I have Peyton hooked up to several monitors and one of them is a heart monitor. Were any of you aware that Peyton has a heart condition?"
Nathan's mouth dropped open in shock and he shook his head. "No Dr. Smith none of us knew that Peyton had a heart condition. What kind of heart condition? Will her and the babies be alright?"
Dr. Smith held up a hand to halt Nathan's questions and then looked at Lucas and Haley before looking back at Nathan. "We are waiting on the cardiologist to finish his testing to know exactly what we are dealing with. As for Peyton and her babies only time will and can tell if they will be alright. What I can tell you is that I will do everything in my power to make sure that Peyton and her babies are alright. Another one of the machines that Peyton is hooked up to is what we call a fetal monitor. It allows us to keep track of the babies heart rates and so far they are all doing just fine. What I'm most worried about is the fact that Peyton hasn't woke up yet. It could just be her body's way of telling us and telling her that she needs sleep and rest but I would feel a lot better if she woke up at least even just for a minute so that we know she's okay."
Nathan nodded and said "When can we see her Dr. Smith?"
Dr. Smith smiled and said "If you will follow me I'll take you to see Peyton now. Maybe hearing one of you talk will bring her out of the unconscious state that she is in. Just remember whatever you do don't stress her out."
Nathan nodded and Haley stepped forward and said "Dr. Smith are we allowed to take my son into see Peyton? She's his aunt and she always spent time with him."
Dr. Smith nodded and smiled. "Actually I think that is a great idea. Maybe hearing your son's voice will get Peyton to wake up. I have found that it always helps to talk to those who are unconscious because they know on some level that you are here."
Haley nodded and smiled and then walked behind Dr. Smith with Nathan and Lucas following behind her. She just hoped that Peyton would wake up when she heard one of their voices. She just hoped that Peyton would be okay. She really needed Peyton to be okay not just because she would miss Peyton if she wasn't but because if Peyton wasn't okay she was afraid that not only would they lose Peyton but they would lose Lucas as well.
Dr. Smith came to a stop outside of a hospital room and turned to look at the two men and the woman with the kid in her arms that had followed him. "Once again don't be alarmed at everything that is hooked up to Peyton. We're just keeping an extra close eye on her and on her babies. She is also hooked up to an I.V because she was severely dehydrated when she was brought in. I have to ask though is it possible to get in touch with the babies father?"
Lucas cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Actually Dr. Smith I'm already here. I was at Nathan's when you called him. I'm Lucas Scott the father of Peyton's babies."
Dr. Smith nodded as he looked at the young man standing in front of him. He frowned when he heard Lucas give his name and then his eyes widened as he realized who it was. He couldn't believe that he didn't place it before now. He shook his head in amazement and then looked back at Lucas with a slight smile. "It's nice to meet you Mr. Scott. I love your book. I thought Peyton's name sounded familiar when they brought her in but I wasn't sure why but now I know. The reason I asked about the father of Peyton's babies is because I thought that he should know. Now that you're here if you would like I could do another Ultra Sound so that you can see your babies."
Lucas's eyes lit up at the thought of seeing his and Peyton's babies. He still couldn't believe that she was pregnant but he didn't really mind the fact that she was pregnant. If he was going to be honest with himself he loved the fact that she was pregnant with his babies. He just hoped that it wasn't too late for him to make everything up to her. He saw Dr. Smith looking at him with a raise eyebrow and he smiled and then nodded. "I would love to see the babies. Actually I think we all would so that we can all breathe easier with knowing that the babies are indeed healthy and okay."
Dr. Smith nodded and smiled. "Okay you four go on in and I'll go get the Ultra Sound machine. Now remember what I said. When you go in talk to Peyton and let her know that you're here but remember to not stress her out. Any stress caused to her can also harm the babies."
Nathan, Lucas and Haley all nodded and watched as Dr. Smith walked off down the hall. They all three exchanged looks and then nodded at one another and took in a deep breath and let it out. They all slowly entered Peyton's hospital room.
